Hotéis perto de Cuc Phuong National Park, Cuc Phuong

We stayed here 5 days, to really experience the beauty and many attractions of the Trang An and Ninh Binh areas. We were so glad we did; it was a highlight of our 3 weeks in SE Asia, including a very relaxing stay at Trang An Retreat. Our host, Sam, was very warm, welcoming and helpful in arranging anything we asked for during our stay. This is a small, family-run business and all staff were kind and professional. The surrounding area is spectacularly scenic and peaceful, and the grounds are beautifully landscaped and well-maintained. As others have mentioned, accommodation is basic here - clean, comfortable and very budget-friendly. Food was quite good, if a bit limited. The spring rolls are delicious! Sam and staff speak English well, which was very helpful to us. They arranged a reliable driver for us on two of our days there. The stunning Trang An Grottoes boat trip is only 1 km away, an easy bike ride from the Retrat (they have decent bicycles available for free). I highly recommend this place for folks who want a tranquil, reasonably priced home base in the Ninh Binh area.

This is a very idyllic, relaxing hotel that is great on value. It has a very homely vibe but at the same time the whole property is very professionally maintained and felt like a small resort. The location is far from the Ninh Binh city (which is a good thing), but a bike ride away from the Trang An Boating complex and Mua Caves. They give out free bikes and also scooters ar reasonable rate. We took a family room, which was spacious and cutely decorated. The restaurant and the nearby seating is cafe quality cool so you can just take a drink and chill all day if you want to. There's also a decent size pool and some games. The staff is very helpful and arranged all transport seamlessly to and from Hanoi. Overall a great experience and definitely highly recommended! P.S - One of our most endearing memories from this place was of a little toddler in the restaurant who went around giving everyone toffees! ❤️

There are 5 rooms. We'd originally booked the largest, but found it was right next to the pool and all guests had to walk past the only window. The other rooms (as far as I could tell) are all the same layout with a bed hard up against one wall. For an older couple it makes getting up in the night awkward. The bed is very hard. There is a kettle and fridge but no cups or Tea/Coffee/Water. These are relatively trivial and could be easily remedied. On the positive side, the brother and sister who run it are lovely people and couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast is great and the on-site restaurant good. The pool is fantastic and spotlessly clean. They have free bikes for use and very cheap scooter hire. The location is excellent and near other places to eat. 10 minute cycle to Trang An boats and Mua cave Lookout.

This resort is set at the foot of limestone rock, like a land version of Ha Long bay. It is the most beautiful oasis of calm, located down a long lane and features quirky accommodation types from bamboo huts on stilts to converted buses! The rooms are positioned around a big lake and landscaped gardens which are exceptionally well kept. We stayed in one of the thatched huts which had a lake view. The room was perfect - plenty of space including a hanging rail and wardrobe for clothes, plus big bathroom / wet room. There were a few mozzy’s but the room had an electric fly swat if you were quick enough to catch them. Our favourite thing to do was to sit on the terrace with a coffee in the morning and soak up the view! We also liked the fact there were picnic benches dotted around the lake if you wanted to sit and chill. The other thing to mention is that there’s Wi-Fi connectivity everywhere you go around the resort which is really handy. There are 2 improvements this resort could make which I feel would really positively impact them. One is the food… whilst there are a vast array of menu options, I think it would work in their favour to offer fewer but better quality dishes. The breakfast would also benefit from fresh pastries and bread options. Secondly, whilst the pool is absolutely stunning (it really is picture perfect overlooking the lake), there are only 5 sun beds which, during really busy periods, means there’s nowhere to relax in the sun once they’re all taken (the picnic benches are under trees which suits their purpose). A little jetty out onto the lake with additional beds would be fabulous! The hotel is situated near a few towns, all of which are accessible (and cheap) by taxi which the hotel can call for you. I would definitely recommend staying here for a few days, it’s perfect to relax and unwind!

What a great experience for the price we paid! The hosts were always at our service and ready to assist with any request. Once, we had an issue with an inland flight, and the gentleman at the reception promptly made a call to the airport, resolving the problem for us in Vietnamese! The property is incredibly clean and offers a fantastic pool with comfortable loungers, a billiard table, complimentary bicycles, affordable scooter rentals, and an excellent restaurant! During our stay, my girlfriend and I occupied a double room (Room 10) on the top floor. The room couldn't have been better! It was consistently clean! If you're looking for exceptional value for your money, there's no better choice in Ninh Binh than this accommodation! Thank you for the lovely time; we would definitely book again!

Great position, near the Birch Dong pagoda, near town, but close enough out that it feels more authentic. The bungalows are clean and comfortable, right next to a karst mountain with a massive cave that goes under it. You can ask them to take you on a boat ride through to the other side, where a village lady took us through a cave system. 200,000 baht for two, the villager asked for a tip of 50,000baht, for the three of us, which is uncomfortable, but I paid as for me it was worth it. Just hate the tipping culture would rather know a price upfront. But that was not the bungalows fault. Enjoyed the food, and the family, they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. And they understood our English.
